We’ve already seen some strong ones Toy Story 5 tie-ins — from impressive new Woody and Buzz Lightyear figures from Mattel to a real-world Lilypad ‘tablet’ from LeapFrog — and now Belkin is stepping into the mix with what feels like the most hands-on version yet.

It’s not an actual Lilypad, but a movie-scale, character-inspired case that wraps around either a 10th or 11th generation iPad. In other words, it turns Apple’s most affordable tablet — and arguably the best iPad for most people — into one of the standout new characters from Toy Story 5.

Belkin is teaming up with Disney, Pixar Animation Studios and Disney Consumer Products to bring the frog-shaped smart tablet character from the upcoming film to life as a character-themed protective case rather than a toy or stand-alone device.

The Lilypad iPad case costs $49.99 and is currently exclusive to Walmart, with greater availability soon via Amazon and Belkin’s own store. In Australia, the iPad case will be AU$69.95 at launch, and in the UK it’s £39.99.

For the price, you get a light green EVA foam shell built for durability, with shock-absorbing protection against drops and everyday bumps. It’s clearly aimed at younger users (or nostalgic adults), using non-toxic, wipe-off materials designed for regular handling.

It is crucial that it does not compromise on functionality. All important iPad controls remain fully accessible, including the power button, volume up and down, USB-C charging port and rear cameras – meaning the iPad works exactly as it always does, just inside a much more playful shell.

Belkin also includes a two-year warranty, adding an extra layer of security for what’s likely to be a heavily used (and occasionally lost) device accessory.

In terms of design, it leans completely into the character. Lilypad’s signature eyes sit at the top along with a centered carrying handle for portability. On the back, a fold-out kickstand puts the iPad in landscape mode for viewing, drawing or gaming, while frog-like hands wrap around the sides, and a soft-touch finish improves grip.

The comparison with others Toy Story 5 tie-ins highlight how different Belkin’s approach is.

Mattel’s Lilypad is firmly in toy territory – a smaller figure with a compact screen and light interactivity built for play with other figures. LeapFrog’s version goes the other way and is a dedicated children’s learning tablet built around the character.

Belkin sits between the two, but leans closest to the real world. Instead of creating a new device or scaling the character down to a toy, it simply re-shines an existing iPad – keeping full functionality intact while adding the character design on top.

That distinction is important because this is a movie-scale interpretation of Lilypad, designed to let fans take home what could become one of the film’s breakout characters in a functional everyday form rather than a showpiece.

It also suggests something broader. Since Belkin already works closely with Disney and Pixar Animation Studios, this feels less like a one-off crossover and more like a template for future character-driven tech accessories — potentially across other franchises if the concept proves popular.

If you’re already sold and have a 10th or 11th generation iPad, you can get the Belkin Lilypad iPad Case from Walmart for $49.99. It will launch from Belkin’s online store and Amazon, among other retailers, on June 1, 2026.
